i wonder if the Bose system has been improved at all, or its the same ol' crap.

 

Idk, the Q50 gets a 16 speaker system. My only issue with the bose is that it was never "loud enough". Also if you used Bluetooth, it sounded very muffled but I take it thats almost every Bluetooth audio in cars.

 

not loud enough, bass and mids are muddy, upper frequencies are shrill as you turn up the treble and not crisp.

im not a cork-sniffing audiophile, but it isnt very good. it wouldnt even be a problem if you could replace the head unit without it being a major surgery.

will wait for Android Auto ...

 

+1 Where the heck is Android Auto?? Low cost autos are now updating 2014-2015's with Android Auto and it's not to be had on a $50k Infiniti?

 

Bose doesn't believe in mid-range, that's been their whole premise since the early 901 days, that's why it ships with a crude equalizer. They also don't quote the specs of their accustomass module, aka their "thumper". Bose has always done a great job of marketing and when people see that logo they think they are getting something special when they are only getting something over priced. Yes, I bought into the hype years ago and have their accoustimass system. It can get loud and that's what lures people in, "how can something so small be so loud, it must be good". When people hear that in our spare room and think its great I bring them out to hear the B&W's ... they then say, oh yeah I see what you mean.

 

I don't mind it in my 09 maxima just wish I had a few more clicks if volume. And I don't expect android auto before 2018....

 

Well yes Bose is not as good as the Mark Levinson in the Lexus' however it is not bad, I like it in my g37.

If they bring their 7speed DCT in Q30 with some improvements to an AWD red Sport I can seriously think about it next year.

 

My 2015 Q60 coupe Bose sounds way better than my previous 2014 Q50 Sedan Bose.

The Q60 sound isn't that bad. The mids sounds pretty good to me.

If the 2017 Coupe has the same setup as the Q50, I'd be disappointed.

Here's an audio recording off of my dash cam.

 

901's were ok, if you had the space for them and positioned them right (buddy had some back in the day).

since then, its just all marketing hype, not unlike Beats headphones. mediocre product, marketed and priced to make dummies think its "high end".

as the saying goes, "Bose: no highs, no lows". LOL

the Rockford Fosgate system in my wife's $24k little Mitsubishi SUV is SOOO much better then the Infiniti Bose system.

 

if you think proof of sound quality is a dash cam audio recording, then you will probably be pleased with your Bose system.

 

Yeah, the 901's were OK ... still over priced. The early ones needed 100watts just to turn them on, they were so inefficient. My buddy had a pair and had to get a 250w p/channel amp which back in the day was a lot. The Rockford Fosgate system in my Xterra blows away both Bose systems I have in the G and the M. Although the M 16 speaker setup does a lot better than the G's system.

 

exactly. it sounds better in person. just posted it to show the mids aren't that bad on the stock Bose system.

also the mark Levinson speakers on the Lexus have no base. it's tailored to those who listen to classical.

LOL... It's not that great in my 2013. I had a 2010 with the standard 6 speaker. The Bose isn't that much better...

 

Yep, it's all marketing. Agreed. I had the 6 speaker coupe and the 10 speaker Bose.. the Bose coupe doesn't sound that much better. slightly improved?
